You don’t need to go to the park

Late night in the dark

Without a soul near you,

But there are spirits that could haunt you

So before that, lend me your ears

As I say, that I am not to be blamed,

Our end was inevitable

We were pre-destined to break free

To get rid of each other, I did not,

No, No, I did not!

Bang the phone on your ear

Slam the door,

Only for you to disappear

I did not

Tear the piece of poetry,

Which was a proof of our bond,

I did not

Prevent you from whispering our memories

And lastly,

I did not

Desert you in the park,

All alone

And so,

All blame is in vain

You are responsible for your caliginous behavior

You were the one,

Who brought light to my life

And now, you are the one extinguishing it,

Before anyone else,

Would dare to

So I do not want to hear,

Your stories anymore

Kindly,

Keep me away from your blackened soul

For my soul feels lighter than ever

I shall now, stay away,

From you and your miseries

Even if I stumble upon my own.

Even if I burn my soul,

It would be my remedy

For you’re not there anymore

Upon who I could rely

I am the physic to my own soul.

For now I have faith,

In my own wings!

More than you have in yours

And so,

Wherever you shall be

Stay away from me

And don’t tell stories

Just to put the blame on me
